ANNOUNCEMENT *Drum Roll*

After i created this blog, i'd been itching to say something about what i'd been going through for a while now, but decided not to because Joe and I decided to keep the secret for as long as we could hold onto it..which wasn't too long. We broke the news finally mid december and the news is.. We're expecting!

That's right.. We have our little JayBug on the way and we're as excited as we're nervous. Found out at 5 weeks and we're in our 28th week now. In our last ultrasound at 18 weeks, we found out we're having a boy!

This is a picture of two ultrasounds. The one on the left was in the 12th week and the one on the right in the 18th week. And the next pic is the bump weeks 19-27.

It's been a very typical pregnancy so far. I've had my share of discomforts.. I'd been terribly nauseous and threw up multiple times every day from week 6-17 which was the worst. Then the aches and pains related to the big belly, trouble breathing, tough time sleeping or getting hardly any sleep because of the terrible pain from having my organs all squished up and so much more! But honestly, if i had it extremely smooth, i would have worried more. And i have an amazing husband who's been there for me through it all. The nausea, all the back rubs and massages... No matter what time i needed them.. I love my man!

And, it's been easy to overlook all the pain and discomfort (so far) because there's so much more to be excited about. I started feeling the little guy mid 17 weeks and that was one of the most amazing days of my life. It was the day I had to go in for my first OB appointment and i was sitting waiting for the bus and i felt a few little pops in my belly and i did wonder if that could be him. Later that evening, Joe took me out for a movie and i felt the same thing over and over again and i just knew it was my little JayBug. Best feeling ever! And then when I started feeling his hiccups, i'd wake up to these little twitches in my belly and it was amazing.. just knowing he was alright. My favourite thing to do of late, is sit back and watch the belly jump around and imagine the tiny little feet and hands and fingers.. the beautiful eyes.. the little belly. Sigh. He's already so perfect!

In about 11 weeks i get to hold the little guy, admire him, love him and enjoy being his mommy. March can't come soon enough!
